Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 5x5x5 meter soundproof box, lit at 2000 lumens. SCP-XXXX must be kept under surveillance at all times through video surveillance. Only D-Class personnel are allowed in, and only under the circumstance that they are testing it, and are set for termination. It is currently held at [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-XXXX has since escaped, and is thought to be somewhere in the Mississippi Valley Area in the United States.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a tall humanoid with an emaciated appearance, though this could only be confirmed through head mounted cameras. It's skin appears to be very dry, with some of it cracking and falling off. Inside a 1x1x1 meter radius around it, all noise and light sources are negated. It somehow is able to hear and see outside of this area. Inside, it gives off a very soft, red glow. Any attempts to talk to it through sign languages, writing, and pictures have no results aside from [DATA EXPUNGED].

Its behavior is odd, to say the least. It appears to like rural areas, and stays away from large cities. When it finds a place it can live, and hunt, it will usually inhabit rooms that are unlit, and will hide if it hears movement or sees light. It often hunts people who live alone, or who have people sleeping near them. Once it finds prey, it will wait until darkness shrouds the area, then will lurk behind them, often waiting until the victim comes near light. It will then get close to the victim, and once the victim sees it, it will attempt to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Its transport methods are unknown, and it has been sighted throughout various parts of the United States Midwest and Canadian Shield.

SCP-XXXX was first recorded as being sighted on ██/██/2000 in █████, Saskatchewan, by Mr. ████ Smith, who came home to find the body of his child [DATA EXPUNGED]. He claimed to have seen an odd figure in the distance, but could not describe it in detail. This is thought to have been SCP-XXXX. █ days later, Mr. Smith was found dead in a manner similar to SCP-XXXX’s other killings. The two had no living relatives.

The next sighting of SCP-XXXX was ██/██/2001, in ██████, Minnesota. Ms. █████ Blue was watching television in her house, but at 10:00 PM, a single scream was reported to the police. During the call, her neighbor ███████ Johnson reported seeing a figure step out of her house, and claimed it was “covered in blood.” At this point, the call cut out after a similar scream was heard, presumably from Mrs.Johnson, whose husband was out shopping. From this data, we can confirm that SCP-XXXX has the ability to run at speeds of up to [DATA EXPUNGED].

The last sighting before capture by the foundation was in █████ ██████, Manitoba, on ██/██/2003. An SCP agent was home when he called in reporting that he saw a mysterious figure similar to SCP-XXXX. He can be heard readying his gun. He stays on the phone whilst shooting at it after it charges at him. This confirms an even higher speed of [DATA EXPUNGED]. After firing one round, all shots reported as hit, the creature fell, yet was somehow able to get up, albeit struggling. After this encounter, SCP personnel came and contained SCP-XXXX. Agent ██████ was given Class A Amnestics, as well as relocated to [DATA EXPUNGED]. No other sightings of SCP-XXXX have been recorded as of this time.

As of ██/██/2015, SCP-XXXX has since escaped. One sighting has occurred, in ███████, Iowa. Early in the morning at 2:00 AM, ████ Ardon was going to bed when he heard something downstairs. He walked down, and claimed to see [DATA EXPUNGED]. If any sightings of SCP-XXXX occur, please contact SCP personnel immediately.

There's obviously going to be something wrong with it, so tell me what I can fix! I hope I didn't go too overboard with the censoring and expunging. The latter I've put in so y'all can imagine whatever you wanna. Thank you for taking time to read this!
